References:
Bennett, M.D., I.J. Leitch, H.J. Price, and J.S. Johnston (2003). Comparisons with Caenorhabditis (~100 Mb) and Drosophila (~175 Mb) using flow cytometry show genome size in Arabidopsis to be ~157 Mb and thus ~25 % larger than the Arabidopsis Genome Initiative estimate of ~125 Mb. Annals of Botany 91: 547-557.
